CFX-2 Soil Respiration System

CFX-2 Soil Respiration Chamber

 

Designed for use with our CIRAS & CIM range of analyzers for measurement of "open system" soil respiration. 

Dimensions 120mm H x 200mm (Diameter)
Surface Area Approx. 350 cm2

The design of this system requires a suitable air supply unit which is built into our Control Interface Module (CIM) for open system operation.  PP Systems offers the basic Control Interface Module (no analyzer) for use with the CIRAS and another version (Control Interface Module with Analyzer) for stand alone operation.

Canopy Assimilation (Net Canopy CO2 Flux) - Open System

In order to measure net canopy CO2 flux in an "Open System", a suitable air supply unit is required for use with our CPY-3 net canopy CO2 flux chambers to accurately deliver controlled ambient air to the chamber.  We supply a Control Interface Module (CIM) with suitable air supply built directly into it for this application.  Two versions of our Control Interface Module are available, one with the air supply unit only and another with both air supply unit and integral CO2 analyzer & humidity sensor for stand alone operation.

Important Ordering Information for CPY-3 Chambers

When ordering, please include the following information:

  • Specify Chamber Type (i.e. rigid, semi-rigid)

  • Chamber Dimensions

  • For semi-rigid (Polythene or PET), specify minimum and maximum heights.

  • CIM type (with or without integral analyzer) and air supply or Analyzer Type.  If user supplied Air Supply, it's rate.

  • Length of analyzer interface cables and pipes (2M is standard)

CPY-3 Canopy Assimilation Chambers

Designed for use with our CIRAS EGM & CIM range of analyzers for measurement of "open system" canopy assimilation for both low lying and tall vegetation.  All CPY-3's include environmental sensors for measurement of temperature and PAR.  The CPY-3 can be supplied in a variety of different makes and sizes, including:
